Brisbane have played down talk that prized recruit Jack Bird could make his club debut in Friday night's NRL clash with Wests Tigers at Campbelltown.

The NSW State of Origin star trained strongly on Tuesday ahead of the Broncos team announcement for their round-three clash after overcoming a shoulder injury but Matt Gillett didn't sound convinced Bird would play this week.

"He is keen to get back (but) I think he has a little way to go yet before he returns," Gillett said.

South Sydney say Greg Inglis remains in good spirits as the investigation into Saturday's alleged racial slur against the NRL superstar continues.

Rabbitohs players have rallied around Inglis in the days after the team's loss to Penrith, where he and Souths officials lodged a complaint against an unknown member of the crowd who the centre claims called him a "black dog".

"Greg has been great. He's not kicked a fuss up, he's not said too much about it, it's not causing a distraction among the team. Greg himself is fine," Souths captain Sam Burgess said on Tuesday.
